People lose £100 every 20 seconds on gaming machines/B2 machines/FOBTs

The reality is that the average spend is between £5 and £6 nationally, with customers staying on a gaming machine for around the 10 minute mark. From April this year, no customer can bet more than £50 in any one play – unless they are using an account or have had an responsible gambling interaction with shop staff. This ensures that people are not playing unsupervised, with staff able to intervene if someone is spending more than usual.
